Chapter: 03
Page and Header: 60, Learning About the Patient: The Sequence of the Interview
Feedback: This is the most productive sequence for the interview. Greeting patients and
establishing rapport allows them to feel more comfortable before “inviting” them to relate their
story. After hearing the patient’s story, together you establish the agenda regarding the most
important items to expand upon. At the end, together you negotiate the plan of diagnosis and
treatment.
3. Alexandra is a 28-year-old editor who presents to the clinic with abdominal pain. The pain
is a dull ache, located in the right upper quadrant, that she rates as a 3 at the least and an 8 at
the worst. The pain started a few weeks ago, it lasts for 2 to 3 hours at a time, it comes and
goes, and it seems to be worse a couple of hours after eating. She has noticed that it starts
after eating greasy foods, so she has cut down on these as much as she can. Initially it
occurred once a week, but now it is occurring every other day. Nothing makes it better. From
this description, which of the seven attributes of a symptom has been omitted?
4. A) Setting in which the symptom occurs
5. B) Associated manifestations
6. C) Quality
7. D) Timing
Ans: B
Chapter: 03
Page and Header: 65, The Seven Attributes of a Symptom
Feedback: The interviewer has not recorded whether or not the pain has been accompanied by
nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, weight loss, and so on. Associated manifestations are additional
, symptoms that may accompany the initial chief complaint and that help the examiner to start
refining his or her differential diagnosis.
4. Jason is a 41-year-old electrician who presents to the clinic for evaluation of shortness of
breath. The shortness of breath occurs with exertion and improves with rest. It has been going
on for several months and initially occurred only a couple of times a day with strenuous
exertion; however, it has started to occur with minimal exertion and is happening more than a
dozen times per day. The shortness of breath lasts for less than 5 minutes at a time. He has
no cough, chest pressure, chest pain, swelling in his feet, palpitations, orthopnea, or
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.
Which of the following symptom attributes was not addressed in this description?
1. A) Severity
2. B) Setting in which the symptom occurs
3. C) Timing
4. D) Associated manifestations
Ans: A
Chapter: 03
Page and Header: 65, The Seven Attributes of a Symptom
Feedback: The severity of the symptom was not recorded by the interviewer, so we have no
understanding as to how bad the symptom is for this patient. The patient could have been asked
to rate his pain on a 0 to 10 scale or used one of the other standardized pain scales available.
This allows the comparison of pain intensity before and after an intervention.

to worry about it being a sign of cancer
8. C) Offering the patient multiple choices in order to clarify the character of the urinary
symptoms that she is experiencing
9. D) Asking her to tell you exactly what she means when she states that she has a urinary
tract infection
Ans: B
Chapter: 03

and empathizing with the patient.
